Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
MILWAUKEE. September S.-A spe-
cial to the Sentinel from Marquette,
Mich, says: Word has been received
here of the laundering of the schooner
Mazara, a consort of the steamer
Raleigh, six miles northeast of White
fish Point, Lake Superior in yester-
days gales. She was commanded by
Capt. Clements and was ore-laden
from Ashland to Ashtabula.
ALL HANDS LOST.
Her crew OF ten men was lost and
the captain familyis reported to have
been on board. Owing to poor wires
and the fact that there are no survivors
details are hard to get.
sKIPPER's STORY.
Captain Delos Waite, of the steamer
Idaho, just arrived, reports passing
the wreck of the Niagara to-day. She
lies off Whitefish Point, five miles
from shore, and her mizzen mast just
reaches above the water. Captain
Waite saw no traces of the ill-fated
crew. The United Empire arrived at
Saulte during the day and reports that
it was the worst sea ever experienced.
SOME VISITORS WERE ABOARD.
Captain Waite thinks that in addi-
tion to the crew of the Niagara there
were number of ladies aboard her
and all must have perished. The gale
was one of the worst on the lake fol
years, the wind reaching a velocity Of
sixty miles an hour.

Associated Press Dispatches to the Herald.
WASHINGTON, September S.-Chas
w. Rowland, Chairman of the Civil
Service Board of Examiners for the
Cincinnati postoffice wrote letter to
acting President Oberly, of the Civil
Service Commission under date OF
August Goth, making enquiries about
the constitution of the Civil Service
rules in which among other things he
asks: "Are we to understand that a
postmaster may without question re-
move carrier save for causes emu
merated by you in your report on the
Philadelphia postoffice case ?"
QBERLY's OPINION.
In reply Mr.. Oberly says: "The
power of removal is unrestricted ex-
cept that the removal may not be le-
gally made for any one Of the follow
ing causes:
First. Because person in the SER
vice has refused to contribute to po-
litical purposes.
Second Because a person has re.
fused to render political service.
Third. Because a person has re-
fused to permit an appointing officer
or any other person in the civil service
to coerce his political action"
NO POLITICAL BIAS PERMISSIBLE.
After quoting the Civil Service ac'
and rules, Mr.. Oberly concluded by
saying: 1.-The law as constructed is
that entrance to the classified civil
service shall be upon the merit Of ar
applicant without regard to politica
opinions or affiliation; therefore, the
appointing officer who appoints or re
fuses to appoint an applicant because
he does or does not entertain politica
| opinions violates the law, and the ap
pointing officer who removes an EN-
ploye because the employe refuses tt
render political service in accordance
with the wishes OF the appointing of
ficer because he is not political part
isan of the said officer, violates the
law
